The National Agency for Food Drugs Administration and
Control (NAFDAC) has confiscated fake drugs worth N60millon from a warehouse in
Lagos.

This was contained in a press statement signed by NAFDAC
Director General, Prof. Moji Adeyeye on Monday in Abuja.
“Following a tip off by a concerned citizen, officers of Investigation and
Enforcement Directorate of the NAFDAC and the police stormed the supermarket
and warehouse owned by one Mr. Nzube at the Trade fair complex Lagos.

“The warehouse was raided for possession, storage,
importation, sales and distribution of dangerous and unregistered cosmetics.

“Five trucks of about 56 assorted unregistered cosmetic
products, worth over sixty million (N60,000,000) Naira were successfully
evacuated from the warehouse.
“The Glutathione injections and skin whitening pills are harmful and have
several adverse effects including Stevens Johnson Syndrome, skin
cancer/melanoma, kidney dysfunctions and failure, as well as its adverse effect
on the liver,” she added.
Adeyeye appealed to Nigerians to, as part of their civic responsibility, report
suspected incidences of counterfeiting and adulteration of cosmetics, drug,
food and medical devices to NAFDAC for prompt regulatory and legal
action.
